Position Summary & Responsibilities

About Arena Club 

Arena Club is building the number one digital marketplace for collectibles. We started by reinventing the hobby with the first-ever digital card show, and we are expanding into new categories so collectors can buy, sell, grade, and showcase everything they care about in one place. Spearheaded by 5x World Series Champion Derek Jeter and serial entrepreneur Brian Lee, our fully digital marketplace is grounded in trust, transparency, and fun, featuring grading and authentication, vaulting, and digital pack openings that let collectors build and display their collections in a personalized online showroom from anywhere in the world.

 

About the Role

We are seeking a Vice President of Financial Planning & Analysis. As a key member of the team, you'll own financial planning from end to end, including the long-range plan, the annual budget, the rolling forecast, and the unit economics that sit underneath all three. This is a unique opportunity to build the financial engine of a fast-growing platform. You’ll define how we measure GMV, take rate, and contribution margin across grading, vaulting, repacks, and the marketplace itself, and turn those numbers into the decisions the business runs on.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with the CFO on board decks, investor updates, KPI reporting, and building a source of truth for data
  • Build and own the annual budget, quarterly re-forecast, and 3–5 year long-range plan as a single driver-based model, built bottom-up from platform drivers and unit economics: buyer and seller acquisition, activation, repeat rate, order frequency, AOV, GMV, and take rate
  • Own company-wide headcount and workforce planning: the model, the approval process, and the discipline behind both
  • Serve as the finance partner to Product, Engineering, Operations, Marketing, and Category leaders; own their budgets with them and hold them to plan
  • Build the business case for growth expansion and operational scaling opportunities
  • Build, hire, and mentor the FP&A and strategic finance team
  • Own the finance systems roadmap: planning tool selection and implementation, the BI layer, and the data pipeline from our transactional systems into the model; partnering closely with Accounting on close
